04/18/16 Wood Ducks In PA.

Posted: May 31, 2016 in Uncategorized

I took another trip back to Philadelphia to photograph the wood ducks. Just a beautiful day and always fun to shoot these guys. Shooting from down in the water, they consider you less of a threat. They came quite close all day long.

My friend Harry Collins found a second Great Horned Owl’s nest in another part of New Jersey. I spend the entire day watching these two owlets on some branches outside the nest. Click here to see a short video.

The Ospreys have returned to Island Beach State Park. Always fun to see their return.
